Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • FY26 revenue rose to NZ$1.58 billion, showing demand resilience despite margin pressure.
  • Datacom upgraded Highbrook for AI-ready, high-density workloads, matching enterprise inference demand.
  • Datacom's youth-skills platform and graduate pipeline strengthen recruitment in Australia and New Zealand.

What critics are saying

  • FY26 net profit fell to NZ$20 million, and operating cash flow dropped to NZ$75 million.
  • Leadership churn hit Datacom in 2026, with Laura Malcolm and Stacey Tomasoni departing.
  • Sovereign-data and security failures would crush trust, especially after sensitive-government and critical-infrastructure contracts.

What makes Datacom unique

  • Datacom owns five New Zealand data centres after buying T4 Highbrook in April 2026.
  • Datacom pairs cloud services with sovereign infrastructure and Australian AirTrunk capacity.
  • Datacom wins regulated-workload deals, including Alinta Energy, Nozomi Networks, and Government cloud.

ST Engineering iDirect powers Datacom with cloud-native Intuition ground system across Asia-Pacific

ST Engineering iDirect is providing its Intuition ground system to Datacom, a satellite communications integrator and service provider, to deliver cloud-native services for satellite operators across Asia-Pacific. The deployment enables multi-orbit operations and improves bandwidth efficiency. Intuition supports Datacom's Satellite Modernization Blueprint, a framework helping operators transition to software-defined, cloud-native architectures. The system moves away from traditional five- to ten-year hardware migration cycles, offering faster service activation and more efficient network resource use. The solution will initially be deployed across multiple gateways to support maritime terminals. It features advanced resource management capabilities and aims to achieve double-digit reductions in total cost of ownership for Datacom's customers. ST Engineering iDirect will provide Intuition under a subscription model, including technical enablement and ongoing lifecycle support.
